New York Left Turn Motorcycle Accidents

Are you a motorcyclist who was hurt while making a left turn, even though you were legally allowed to do so? Or were you a person struck by a motorcyclist who was in the intersection at the wrong time and should not have been there to begin with? If so, you need a New York left turn motorcycle accident attorney immediately.

A left turn motorcycle accident attorney in New York is the only one who can tell you about your eligibility to file a claim and who can help you throughout the duration of a legal process. A New York left turn motorcycle accident lawyer will file the necessary motions in court and investigate insurance options available to you. Left turn motorcycle accidents can happen because other drivers are not paying attention or because they are driving recklessly at the time and perceive their intersection when they did not have the responsibility to do so.

Any person making a left turn must verify that they are legally allowed to make the turn. This might come in the form of a left turn arrow but in other situations, a green light is enough to allow someone to make a left turn so long as they have verified that there is no oncoming traffic. These problems can amount however, when another driver, either the person making the left turn or the person coming in the opposite direction, is not paying attention. These sudden accidents can be catastrophic and can lead to critical injuries.

The right lawyer assisting you with a motorcycle accident claim will be someone who responds promptly to the injury concerns and helps you put together a timeline of what happened. Anyone who is struck in a motorcycle accident may be knocked unconscious and could even have difficulty remembering what occurred in the accident to begin with. Because of the high stakes involved in motorcycle accident, right lawyer needs to be retained immediately. Only a lawyer who has extensive experience in the field and one who remains committed to the best possible outcome for the victim should work on a motorcycle injury claim.

Talking to eyewitnesses who saw the accident unfold and gathering information from the accident can help to figure out who could be held liable. It is not uncommon for a person who has suffered in an accident to experience challenges with the insurance companies or the other party. The other party, for example, may deny liability overall. This can be a lot to deal with for the victim who is now coping with a forever changed life and the serious toll associated with physical injuries.

This is why New York personal injury law enables someone who suffers in a situation like this to get help from a personal injury lawyer and to file a personal injury claim immediately. With so many different things to worry about in the wake of such an accident, it is important for an injured victim to know who he or she can trust.

It might be the victim's assumption that the other party will see the light and do the right thing to protect the injured victim, but this does not always happen, and without the support of an injury lawyer who cares about you and your future, you could be the one coping with major problems and challenges in your life. You don’t deserve to have someone fighting back when you have been legitimately and seriously hurt because of the other party's negligence. When a victim pays the price they have to take action quickly to get recovery of funds.

Make sure that you have an attorney on your side who will do everything possible to uncover the truth about the accident and to fight back to get you the support you need.

When my mom, who is suffering from dementia, faced a slip and fall personal injury lawsuit, I contacted Stephen Bilkis of the Law Offices of Stephen Bilkis & Associates. Not only did he provide a strategy for defending the claim, he also advised me on steps to take to avoid future personal liability. Whether you are the defendant or plaintiff in an injury case, I highly recommend Mr. Bilkis. S.M.
★★★★★
From the very first phone call to Stephen Bilkis' office, the staff was extremely polite and helpful in assisting me. Mr. Bilkis was honest and upfront with me from the beginning in what he projected the outcome of my case would be; in the end we got better results than either of us anticipated. He was very genuine and compassionate in understanding my situation and how this legal matter could effect not only myself but my family as well. I highly recommend this law firm and will most definitely continue using them for any future legal needs. Jarrett

I had my first encounter with Mr. Stephen Bilkis three years ago over the phone. He and his staff have been nothing but courtesy and professional. Their hard work ended with a large six-figure settlement for my case. I would highly recommend you contact his office. I want to give a special THANK YOU to Ms. Tricia Krapf. She always made me feel like a priority and was always kind and professional over the phone and email. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of legal representation. Celesta
